LRCC SERVICE UPDATE for 5-31-2020

Hi Living Rock,

Warmest Christian Greetings! I hope that all of you are well and staying healthy.

As you know, Santa Clara County is one of 11 other counties in California that have not decided to allow Religious Services to take place. That means we do not have an official green light to allow 25% of our capacity for congregants to meet with protocols. However, this does not mean we will turn anyone away who decide to come to worship this Sunday. We will have our regular service at 10:30 am this Sunday with the same skeleton crew.

Should you decide to come this Sunday please be aware that we will require you to

Wear a Mask (Please bring a mask)

Practice Social Distancing

Hand Sanitize

We will ensure that our Sanctuary is well ventilated and all surfaces are disinfected. We will also continue to stream our services Live on Facebook.

Please let me re-assure everyone that it is not our intention to break the law or endanger anyone. Our services has, is and will always be voluntary. We believe that Worship attendance is a personal commitment made by the individual members of the congregation. If you feel that your health or the health of someone close to you will be compromised by you coming to church in person, then we completely understand if you choose to stay home. Our motivation for opening the church for In Person worship is a spiritual and Biblical one. We regard communal gatherings for the purposes of spiritual Fellowship and Biblical instruction as integral to the whole Christian Experience of Worship and has been for over 2000 years.

We will do everything within our means to ensure that we follow the State Guidelines for conducting In-Person Worship.

I am disappointed that we are in this current state of affairs. But I am infinitely confident that God is in charge of His People and the Lord Jesus is the Head of the Church. He will see us through this and we will come out of this stronger and better than before.

God is Good, He doesn't slumber nor sleep. We are coming back with a heart of worship

Blessings to you

Pastor Israel

LRCC SERVICE UPDATE FOR 05-24-2020

Hi Living Rock Family,

I hope and pray that all is well with you during this Covid-19 pandemic. As you probably already know, the “Shelter In Place” directive is scheduled to end on Sunday, May 31st. This Day is also Pentecost Sunday. We have been praying and seeking God for directions on how to proceed with a “Soft Opening” of our Local facilities. Unless something drastically changes before the 31st, we plan on conducting 2 one hour live services on this Day. The first one starts from 9:45am -10:45am and a second service at 11:00am -12:00 pm.

You can be sure that we will be practicing the proper protocols of

1. Social Distancing

2. Hand Sanitizing

3. Temperature Checking.

Depending on the allowable easing of restrictions, we will calculate the number of attendees that the church can accommodate with these protocols in mind.

I want to stress a very important point. This church reopening as in all the services we have conducted in the past, ARE STRICTLY VOLUNTARY. If you feel that your physical presence in the church will compromise your health or the health of someone in your family, then we completely understand if you do not come. We also urge you to stay home if you feel sick or have been exposed to someone who have the virus.

We made this decision in the hope of bringing back a measure of fellowship to our worship experience and celebration. It is not meant to challenge unfair laws or any constitutional provisions being violated. Although we are fully cognizant of our rights to freedom of Religion and Free Assembly. This is not to us, a political matter but a spiritual and Biblical one.

Once again, this is the plan. Please join me in praying for God’s hand upon this matter. We will have our usual skeleton crew to conduct our service for this Sunday to be streamed live on Facebook.

God bless all of you.

Pastor Israel

LRCC SERVICE UPDATE FOR 05-10-2020

May I just greet all the moms a VERY HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!! in advance.

I know that this Mother’s Day is unlike all the other ones we have celebrated in the past. But nevertheless, we should celebrate it with our usual joy and gratitude.

I want to encourage all of us to honor God by honoring our mother’s even more intensely during this time of crisis. Tell her you love her. Tell her you’re grateful to God for her. I am not suggesting you are not saying these things to her on a regular basis. But rather, to simply let her know that you rejoicing with her in the glory and blessing of motherhood.

As we have been doing for the past 5 Sunday, we will be streaming our services live on Facebook. A skeleton crew of Ben, Sally, Janine, David, will lead us in Worship, Eric and Noah to take care of our broadcast sound recording, and Lisa to ensure that we are following all Covid protocols such as hand sanitizing and social distancing. Willie and Jun Will also be there to help in the streaming. I mentioned their names because I am so grateful for their dedication and willingness to serve in these very risky and challenging times.

Most of all, I would like to thank all of you for joining us on line and spreading the word on our streaming activities. To those of you who listen to our KFAX broadcast thank you for your support.

Once again, let us continue to pray for this Pandemic to be over. God will take us through this and we will come out of this stronger and better.

Blessings to All,

Pastor Israel

the state officials regarding re-opening of facilities. At this time, we

still following recommendations to not hold gatherings, instead we will

continue to gather online.

We trust in God that this will be over soon and as Christians, we believe

prayer has power, We must pray for the sick and the scared, for public

health officials, for doctors and nurses, for researchers, and for

caregivers. Pray that God would protect our community from further spread

of the virus.

In the meantime, We encourage everyone to still note of the following

precautions:

*Stay at home if you or any family members are sick.

*Wash your hands often with soap and water.

*Cover your sneeze or cough with a tissue or your arm.

EASTER SUNDAY UPDATE FOR 4-12-2020

Hello Living Rock,

Good Friday Greetings to all of you. I hope you are staying healthy and safe during these very trying times.

As everyone knows, Easter Resurrection Sunday is this Sunday It is the most glorious day in the Christian Calendar. Christians all over the World will be celebrating our Risen Lord and King. Sadly, this Easter will be quite different from all other Easter Celebrations we had before, at least in our lifetimes as we grapple with worshiping separately and absent from one another. But we will not let this Corona Virus Pandemic stop us from celebrating.

As we have been doing for the last 4 Sundays, we will be streaming our Sunday Service Live on Facebook. I will be starting a New Series of Sermons based on our theme this year called, "Come To The Water" The acronym W.A.T.E.R stands for Waiting Always Trusting Expecting Refinement. For the next several Sundays we will be looking at Refining Our Spiritual Walk. We will begin with a message entitled "A Soul in Pursuit of God". I hope that all of you will join us.

As always, we will have a Skeleton Crew at our Church to conduct the Service. We will have our Worship Team led by Ben Reyes to lead us in a time of Praise and Worship. They will help usher in the Presence of the Lord with Musical selections magnifying the Glory of Easter.

As an Added event, Dr. Steve Korch who was supposed to be our Guest Speaker this Sunday has graciously recorded an Easter Message for all of us who would like to be inspired and encouraged by the Word. You can enjoy his message by clicking the Link below. The link will also be posted on our Facebook Account.

Once again, I ask you to join me as we pray for for God's hand upon the world and ask that this Pandemic be over. We live in a Fallen World and we are Fallen people but we worship an infinitely powerful, loving, merciful, and gracious God.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Israel

SUNDAY SERVICE UPDATE FOR 3-29-2020 Follow Up

Hi All,

I hope and pray that you are all doing well and staying healthy. As a follow up to Yesterday’s email update, I also want to encourage you to join me for a time of PRAYING and FASTING. If you are medically cleared to FAST then I will encourage you to join me. The level of FAST is entirely up to you. We are all aware of the government guidelines as to how we can protect ourselves from the COVID-19 virus. But I truly believe that as bad as the situation is, our hope and strength ultimately still comes from the LORD!! I believe God will deliver us from this Pandemic. Until then let’s continue to cry out to him in prayer.

God bless All of you!!
